Elon Musk’s government downsizing team, DOGE, will visit the FAA’s Air Traffic Control command center in Virginia on Monday as the Trump administration pushes for reforms.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the team aims to evaluate the current system and propose improvements.
The visit follows the recent firing of hundreds of FAA probationary employees, which unions warn will overburden an already understaffed workforce.
Musk insists the initiative is non-partisan and focused on safety. Some lawmakers, however, question his involvement due to SpaceX’s conflicts with the FAA. Meanwhile, senators are calling for increased FAA funding and staffing after a deadly air crash exposed ongoing safety concerns.
